King See also:Edward I. The origin and author-See also:ship of the See also:work have been much disputed. It has been attributed to See also:John le See also:Breton, See also:bishop of See also:Hereford, on the authority of a passage found in some See also:MSS. of the See also:history of See also:Matthew of See also:Westminster; there are difficulties, however, involved in this theory, inasmuch as the bishop of Hereford died in 1275, whereas allusions are made in Britton to several statutes passed after that See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

Henry de See also:Bracton, the last of the See also:chief justiciaries, whose name is sometimes spelled in the See also:fine Rolls " Bratton " and " Bretton," and that it was a royal abridgment of Bracton's See also:great work on the customs and See also:laws of England, with the addition of certain subsequent statutes. The arrangement, however, of the two See also:works is different, and but a small proportion of Bracton's work is incorporated in Britton. The work is entitled in an See also:early MS. of the 14th See also:century, which was once in the See also:possession of Selden, and is now in the See also:Cambridge university library, Summa de legibus Anglie que vocatur Bretone; and it is described as " a book called Bretoun " in the will of See also:Andrew See also:Horn, the learned chamber-lain of the See also:city of See also:London, who bequeathed it to the chamber of the See also:Guildhall in 1329, together with another book called Mirroir See also:des Justices.
Britton was first printed in London by See also:Robert Redman, without a date, probably about the See also:year 1530. Another edition of it was printed in 164o, corrected by E. See also:Wingate. A third edition of it, with an See also:English See also:translation, was published at the University See also:Press, See also:- OXFORD
